My anger management is about to go out of the window. Microsoft updated my Edge browser, and now my AT&T/Yahoo email page has targeted ads placed on on the top of the place my new emails used to appear..... all alone. I can ignore them, but they do not have a delete button like all my others do. If I open one and delete it, a brand new one pops up in it's place. They told me I could opt out, and linked me to a page where to do it, but after searching those pages for about thirty minutes, I still have not figured out just exactly HOW to opt out. I have officially reached the limits of my patience!

The ads are gone. I found a link to "where to unsubcribe" but after reading everything on that page, did not find an actual unsuscribe button. I don't know how it happened, but they are gone. I really do not like the upgraded "Microsoft Edge" browser, and if I knew how, I would dump it and go back to the old one.

I suggest you switch to either Chrome or Firefox. Just download them and install them. They are both light-years better than Edge.

I already had Firefox loaded. I did update it and added a "read aloud" app. I forget the name of it, but it works well. I intend to hide the Edge icon on my task bar.
